I think there was a scene showing a gay couple checking out Ken for a couple of seconds when they arrived at the beach

Would be very funny if they did leave that out in their release there and it still got banned for that since everyone knows that it's not about that why they don't want people seeing that movie

Fine... Why should I ever be able to just enjoy shallow entertainment as such? Guess I have to rewatch the movie at least another time to look for details I might have missed because I'm not properly sensitized like a good morally uncorrupted Algerian.
